cial train, marvel of elegance, ease
and comfort. AT about a quarter to 10

and two children, DR.. Bryant and Mr..

| THE TRAIN REACHES BALTIMORE.
| BALTIMORE, Sept. 30.-The presiden-
tial train reached this city at 11:1O this
morning. The announcement that it
would arrive at that time attracted
| about 1000 persons, fully one-half of
| whom were ladies'. As soon as the
train stopped the president and Mrs.
| Cleveland were seen about the center
| of the Pullman car. He sat near the
window, and to a request to go to the
| platform of the car shook head. At
11:15 sharp the signal was given and
the train pulled out and proceeded ON
| its way. James Herman, a book
/ keeper for c.. Y. David
son 65 Co., who had pushed himself
through the gate with some others and
who had more than his usual allowance
| on board, approached the car and
! pounded on the window beside which
the president was sitting and intimated
by his gestures that he wanted the pres
ident to address the crowd. This Mr..
| Cleyelandby by a shake of the head de-
clined. Herman then boarded the car
and shook hands with Mrs. Cleveland
in such a way as to make Foraker sick
| with envy. He, then stoutly slapped
| the president on the back to the eyi-
| dent amusement of the latter, saying,
"Grover, old boy, I'm glad to see you,"
| and repeating his invitation to the pres
4 ident he made speech. The crowd
| stared, open-mouthed, at this phenome-
nal display of gigantic temerity.

will shake hands with as many persons
as he can.
